Research Update: The Most Commonly Used Mechanical Engineering Tools

For the past 6 weeks, we’ve been distributing surveys amongst the Wevolver community with the aim of learning more about how engineers collaborate and the role that open hardware plays in their development process.

So far, over 500 participants have responded to our questionnaires shared on social media. We have also conducted face-to-face interviews with over 30 engineers both inside and outside of the Wevolver community. By doing so, we hope to gain deeper insights into the hardware development process and how it can be improved.

Below, we’ve shared some of our initial mechanical engineer research findings but there is much more information to come over the next few months:

What’s next?

We’re now focusing on learning more about mechanical engineers working in the industry. If this sounds like you, please fill out our three question survey and we’ll be in touch to share additional insights.
